Greetings,

I'm trying to get to platinum via platinum challenge (end date 12/19) - I thought I'd have a little more travel over the last month, but things didn't quite happen.

Here's what I've got on hold right now:
12/5 PHL-PHX-LAS / LAS-PHX-PHL - 2320 EQP, $273 (~12cent/EQP)
12/9 PHL-TPA / TPA-PHL - 922 EQP, $85 (~9cent/EQP)

I need a total of 2871 EQP. If I count a flight I'm flying on 12/19, that brings it down to 2136 (But I'd rather already be Plat by then).

Yes - I figured my numbers by EQP and not by EQM, because that's what my goal is.

I can fly out of PHL/BWI/DCA/EWR without any real issues. I can travel 11/21-22, 12/5-6, 12/12-13, and some Mondays and Wednesdays in December

Does anyone have a better suggestion? Is there something obvious I'm missing?

What have you found via ITA or google.com/flights? Looking at EQP is a bit harder that EQM, but there are some options. I've seen a number of F/J flights to SJU that may work for you depending on origin/positioning.

What I posted was what I've found on ITA/Google - I've already held them at the listed price, so that's my "start point". I looked at SJU - I'm finding $590 round trip in most cases. Is there something I'm missing?

I'm trying to hit my 2871 EQP figure while spending as little as needed (spending more for further isn't really going to get me anything in terms of status)... As for positioning/origin- I'm flexible. Ideally PHL, but BWI/DCA/EWR are all doable. Also toying with F/J one way, and returning coach (or even WN or someone else)
